Chicken Mulligatawny Noodle Soup

This is absolutely delicious! Like seriously holy grail, both me and Moudi had two servings each and I may or may not have snuck in a few more bites when I was supposed to be packing it away for the fridge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now I usually don’t like leftovers because I love cooking new things everyday but this was one instance where I regretted cutting the recipe in half and considered making more the next day. It was THAT good! I love the addition of these noodles from “A taste of Thai”, they’re sort of like pad Thai noodles and pretty hearty and soak up a lot of the soupy goodness. I think I got them from Publix or Krogers, I don’t really remember but you can find them in the international aisle with all the Asian, Indian and Latin products. This is definitely going to be a staple in our household from now on.

Oh! and speaking of staples, I know I’ve gotten questions on what brand of chicken stock I use since I only eat halal and kosher. I use these halal Maggi chicken bouillon cubes, and I use a 1:1 ratio of water to bouillon cubes. But keep in mind that when using these you have to adjust the salt in the recipes or be more careful because these contain a lot of salt.

I adapted this recipe from SimplyRecipes.com and while in their version they used rice I prefer using noodles. I feel like it makes for more of a hearty and fun dish.

In a small sauce pan add 2 cups of water and 2 maggi bouillon cubes and heat until dissolved.

Add 2 cups of chicken stock to pot with vegetables, along with 2 cups of water, ½ tsp salt and 2 chicken breasts.

Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken pieces from the pot. (They should be just cooked through. If not, return them to the pot for another 5 minutes or so, until they are cooked through.) Place on a cutting board and shred with two forks.

Bring the soup back to a boil, and add 1 diced granny smith apple and a handful of the rice noodles.

Cook for about 4-6 minutes, then reduce he heat to medium and add the shredded chicken back in.
